Letra del Tango Caminito soleado

Claro caminito criollo
florido y soleado,
con pañuelo bordeado
vos me viste pasar.
Mientras los pastos amigos
que saben mi anhelo,
como dulce consuelo,
su verde saludo
me hacían llegar.

Cruzando montes y valles,
con alas venía
mi pobre carreta,
con su carga de esperanzas
las ruedas le hacían
al viento gambetas.
Y cuando ya atravesaba
la hondura del valle
de lenta corriente,
una congoja naciente
detuvo su impulso
parando su andar,
porque en ese arroyito
a veces tus ojos
se saben mirar.

Y así que vi su casita
de puro celoso
me sobró el pampero
para contarle chismoso
que traigo en mi apero
mil prendas de amor.
Para su pelo una cinta
que llevo escondida
de lindo color.
Para sus labios mi antojo
y para sus ojos
un claro cristal,
y pa’ su blanca garganta
el criollo que canta
tiene este cantar.

Claro caminito criollo
florido y soleado,
yo quiero que se asombre
cuando ella me nombre
al verme llegar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Caminito soleado"

Clear native path,
flourishing and sunny,
with a bordered handkerchief,
you saw me pass by.
While the friendly grasses,
aware of my yearning,
as a sweet solace,
sent their green greetings
my way.

Crossing hills and valleys,
on wings came
my humble cart,
with its load of hopes
the wheels dodged
the wind.
And as it crossed
the deep, slow-flowing valley
a budding sorrow
halted its momentum,
stopping in its tracks,
for in that little stream
sometimes your eyes
are known to gaze.

And so when I saw her small house,
out of sheer jealousy
the pampero wind was excessive
whispering gossips
that in my gear
I bring a thousand tokens of love.
For her hair, a ribbon
hidden with a pretty color.
For her lips, my craving,
and for her eyes,
a clear crystal,
and for her white throat,
the native who sings
has this song.

Clear native path,
flourishing and sunny,
I want her to be amazed
when she mentions my name
seeing me arrive.

Story behind the Tango Caminito soleado

“Caminito soleado,” translating to “Sunny Little Path,” is a poetic exploration of a journey, both literal and emotional, depicted vividly by Alfredo Le Pera. The lyrics narrate a traveler’s experience traversing through the scenic countryside, reflecting his anticipation and emotions as he navigates towards a significant yet undisclosed destination. The use of nature and its elements as a backdrop mirrors the inner feelings of the protagonist, revealing a story of love, hope, and longing.



Symbolism of Caminito soleado

The “sunny little path” itself is symbolic, representing life’s journey filled with hope and beauty, bordered by friendly pastures that know the traveler’s desires. Each element within the lyrics holds a deeper meaning—mountains and valleys symbolize the ups and downs of the journey, while the “slow stream” could imply obstacles or moments of reflection. The carriage filled with “loads of hope” and its playful dodging of the winds symbolizes resilience and the relentless pursuit of dreams despite challenges.

Significant phrases like “su verde saludo” (its green greeting) and “una congoja naciente” (a nascent sorrow) enhance the emotional spectrum, displaying the comforting embrace of nature alongside the creeping in of despair as challenges arise. These elements collectively intensify the heartfelt narrative, portraying a journey laden with emotional and physical trials.
